Struggling to read

I know the way I’m supposed to work. I’ve read the US Army Corp of Engineers manual on ergonomics. Ninety degree angles, good light, good back support. I set up my office chair in the kitchen with my feet up. My shoulder hurts. I can’t focus. I just need to read. One hour passes. Nothing. I’m trying to follow the manual.

The hero print journalism deserved

When I learned that David Carr died, I was sitting in a red booth eating chocolate cream pie. It was around 10:30 p.m., after my co-workers and I finished watching Interstellar in IMAX — the closest I've ever had to a spiritual experience. We were talking about some scene, and…

On being a “loser”

Or why everybody should just calm down over a warm cup of soup — This year, I was nominated for a John H. McDonald (JHM) award for a story I wrote in August about the UVic Students’ Society re-visiting a ban on military recruiters at a campus career fair.
